A RISING MAN,

The Late RcdfeId Editor and
! Postmaster Getting to the Front
I'm Alabama.
Special to The Globe
3 WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-Henry &.
Rising. late postmaster at Redtield. and
editor of the Sun, is doing fine busi-
ness in Decatur, Ala. He writes to a
friend in Washington. saying: Il have
done good business ever since / came
to this city. 1t is growing and soidly
growing portion of the South, and its
wealth of mineral and agricultural pos
-SibiitieS. now being developed and adj
5yertised to the world. will surely bring
population and thrift"
Rising moved his print shop to De-
catur soon after his postoffice was taken
from him and started a weekly paper.
Business was good with him, and the
townspeople induced him to start a
daily. He did so. and it is a very cred
liable sheet. With his experience as a
boomer in early Minnesota days,
and later in Dakota, Rising ought to
be able to do great things for De-
catur. He was Il very popular fellow
in Minnesota, in Pope county, where he
published the GlenwOOd Eagle: and he
was popular in Dakota until he COM
menced to fight all the candidates for
the postoffice. Every able-bodied poll
tician in Redfield wanted that postoffice.
and of course they all hated the man
who got it, Just as they now hate FOUGHT.
Ergo, after being appointed postmaster
at Redfeld Rising was unpopular. To
be unpopular in any of the trade centers
of Dakota is like being unwelcOmc in
the front yard of the residence of a
queen bee OF a king hornet. 1t were
better to be welcome in pigsty and be
prodigal with plenty of husks for
breakfast than to be unpopular in a
Dakota town, even with the income of
"a presidential postoffice. My friend
Rising found this to be the ease. The
arnica which he used on the broader
positions of his body. where most of the
kicks of the kickers landed, cost cash.
He finds it more congenial in the South,
Office Meee of any kind being be- 5Tomghf to " him inn
on silver plate, as the Redfield office
was. Consequently he'is happy.

their claims, even if indorsed by ma

home organ of Gen. CAMPBELL an
nounces that early in the summer of
1888 there will be held, at some central
point, a convention of the divisionists of
boah South and North. The line is to be

About the Milbank Editor.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21.-R. NJ. Volk-
mar, of Philadelphia, formerly of Mil
bank, OAK, has leased store building
here on Seventh street, and will COM
mence business about the middle of
November. He has been devoting the
last two months to making preparations
for this business move. and was in Phil
adelphia when his brother. A. III. Lewis.
was arrested in Milbank. A former
difference between the brothers led to
the rumOr that Volkmar had gone to
Philadelphia and betrayed Lewis. The
contrary appears to be the fact, and
young VOlkmar has been unremitting
in his attentions and endeavOrs to serve
the unfortunate. Mr.. Mann, the cele-
brated lawyer of Philadelphia, who has
charge of the defense, expresses the be-
lief that Lewis will be free man in a
very few weeks, and be able to resume
his own name, and bear it with honor
as he has always borne the assumed
name of Lewis. He belongs to one of the
finest and most aristocratic families in
the exclusive old Quaker town, and
there will be very wide circle of
friends, indeed, who will rejoice to
know that his tempests and storm of life
are past. The silver lining which
frlnges every cloud seems to be daily
and hourly expanding before him. One
of the greatest causes of local disSatis-
faction with Lewis in Milbank, it is said,
was that he was loyal to his friend, John
b. Raymond. Those who have been
striking at him when he was down are
the same who betrayed Raymond and
were scored for it by Lewis.

however, the game was blocked and
they could go no further. They found
that it would be necessary to secure
assistance. After much deliberation
one of the bosses suggested that nego-
tiatiOns be opened with colony of owls

Dakota. With the help of the owls it
was believed the objects aimed at could
be achieved without trouble. \ pr0pO-

A sketch of Gen. Tyner is unneces-
sary; therefore, the picture herewith
will speak for itself. But good many
DakOtians have never seen the general,
and they will undoubtedly be gratified
at the chance to get look at him. The
general lives in Fargo. where he is
highly esteemed. He was postmaster
for long time, and made an admirable
record. lie is Gov. Church's right-hand
man in military affairs, being adjutant
general on his staff, and much of the
credit for the success of the militia en-
campment held during the summer is
due to him. He assumed all RESPONSE
bility for the dismissal of Coils. Brown
and Webb at Huron, until Gov. Church
relieved him by assuming the RESPONSE
bility himself. Dakota has no better or
truer representative than Gen. Tyner.

John A. McShane, of Omaha, has a
pretty little white elephant ON his hands
i'll the shape of a newspaper. He
bought the Herald some time ago, and
has about got it into running order TO
suit himself before coming to Washing
ton for a long session. He is bidding
for South Dakota patronage, just as the
Republican is doing: but McShane has
not made the mistake which Rounds
made. The eX-public printer thought
that he must have Dakota editor for
his Omaha paper, in order to ''catch On''
to the empire. Consequently, he took
Jordan, from the Fargo Republi-
can, and made him managing
McShane made no such mistake. He
knew enough to know that almost every
editor in Dakota has enemies in proper
ton to his friends, and it is better for a
managing editor, as we'll as for paper,
to have no enemies. 1t is better to start
off with neither, and make friends only.
Hence. McShane has not sought any of
the stars from the galaxy of brilliant
writer's in the territory. He is wise, too.
Why, even Major Edwards has enemies.
The genial Lounsberry seems to have
had few, and Major Barrett is not
without his detractOrs. There is not
man in the editorial harness of Dakota
but has the ability to manage and sue

Once upon time. in the fair territory
of Dakota, a colony of foxes took up
their habitation. They were, like all
other foxes, full of cunning and deceit,
and almost Immediately after their
arrival they began to lay plans
to capture everything in sight.
They were very successful from the
very start in their own secti on, and
made great headway. Their operatio rs
were confined to that belt of country
lying south of an imaginary line divid-
ing North and South Dakota, and
it was not long before they
gained complete control over
everything and ruled the people

They listened to the oratorical fox and
calmly eyed the gesticulating foxes, but
resolutely retained their perches in the
trees and refused to negotiate, or make
any compacts, or give any assistance.
And the foxes, baff1ed and gnashing
and came not out again in the light of
day. Their reign was ended, and gradll-
ally their ranks thinned out. Eventu-
ally the last one disappeared. Wrangles
among themselves and the ravages of
disappointed hopes and ambitions

and increased in the land. And. as one

Take Hand in Politics.
Special to the Globe.
i WASHINGTON. Oct. 21.-HOn. James
Wesley Reid, of North Carolina, re-
signed his seat in congress last spring,
because he was haraSSed to death by
creditors. He is a young man of con-
siderable ability. and is said by North
Carolinians to have been popular be-
yond measure in his home and district.
Unable to manage monetary affairs, he
became embarrassed, and the men to
whom he was indebted bounded him al
most to death. Nothing would do them
but the actual cash, and that they knew
the young man had not, nor means of
getting. 1t was political persecution,
at bottom. rather than a financial mat
ter. But they had the screws on the
young man, and they put them down
hard upon him. 1t was feared by some
of his friends that he would commit sui
eide when the creditors went so far as
to try to garnishee his salary as con-
gresSman. However, he settled the
matter by resigning, leaving congress,
leaving his home, and distancing his
ecreditors. They, however, as soon
as he was forced out of congress,
ceased to persecute him. He went to
New York. secured employment, got
f"onto,; considerable of the inside work

iMillionaires and paupers on Wall street,

BARLEY AND RATTLEsNAKEs.

There are two obstacles to the success
of the local option vote in certain sec
tionS-rattleSnakeS and barley. Along
the Mississippi river there are said to be
lots of rattlesnakes. There is no popu-
lar antidote to their bites but whisky,
and this will not be given up until the
venOmous reptiles are eXterminated. 1t
will be noted that the only well settled
counties that have refused to submit
the local option question are along that
river, or west of it. Yankton, EmmOnS
and Burleigh. east of it, will take no
vote, nor any of the dozen counties Oh
the other side. In others along that
stream it is tho ught the vote will be
against the law. The barley question
works in this way in counties that have
breweries. The farmer comes to town
with his grain and takes it to the buyer
and expects to get about the old-time
price. The buyer looks at it and tells
the farmer that if the barley is all as
good as the sample he will give him %
cents buShel. The farmer opens his
eyes and, doubling his ears, repeats the
inquiry-getting the same answer, with
the explanation that the farmer and his
friends are responsible for the disgust
ing figures-champi0ning local option
and in consequence the breweries have
refused to buy, and there is no demand
for it, except to feed to hogs. The
farmer had not thought of this before,
and he goes home to work against pro-
hibition. If local option fails in the
brewery counties it will be largely due

THERE are twenty-five, or perhaps
one OF two more, daily papers in Dakota,
and if there is one of them that sup
ports the local option scheme the fact
has not been observed. Those at Yank-
ton, Sioux Falls, Bismarck, Grand Forks
and the Black Hills are outspoken in
opposition. The Fargo papers are the
same way in sympathy, but most of
them have got SO in the habit of balan-
cling Oh the fence that they may forget
to jump down before the election. Most
